According to Obi: “Amidst the very busy activities of the day, I still had to contend with the sad news of a fire outbreak at the famous spare parts market in Idumota, Lagos state.
Such unpleasant news came while still mourning the loss of lives in the boat accident that occurred in River Niger, plus a very troubling report of another boat mishap in Kogi State, where many lives were also lost.
While I appreciate our emergency response teams who arrived at the scene of the inferno to prevent further escalation of the fire, I also commiserate with the victims of this tragic incident.
According to reports, goods worth hundreds of millions of Naira were destroyed in the inferno.
These were people’s means of livelihood, going up in flames in these hard times. It is really sad.
I sincerely commiserate with the victims of the fire incident and the families of those who died in the Kogi boat accident. I also extend my sympathies to the Lagos and Kogi State governments and people, over these sad occurrences.
May God give them all, and all of us, the fortitude to bear the loss and grant eternal rest to the dead.
By supporting one another in these very challenging times, we shall emerge stronger.”
